DemDaily: Endangered Democrats: The List

Democrats hold 194 seats to Republicans 241. It will take a net gain of 24 seats for Democrats to take control of the House in 2018.

Niki Tsongas (MA-3) is thesole Democratic retirement to-date. Seven other Dems are leaving the House to run for higher office

Of the 435 Congressional seats up in 2018, the Cook Political Report rates 175 as solid Democrat and 186 as solid Republican. That leaves 74 seats in play: currently held by 19 Democratsand 46 Republicans.

While the ongoing Trump controversies, GOP departures (8 retirements/8 running for higher office) and the recent Democratic fundraising performance may have shifted the numbers in Dem's favor, much - as we know - can still happen in the next year leading up to the November, 2018 elections.
